Chapter 97: The Phone Call(II)
The more the detective "talked" to her, Rory realized that she is more interested in the whereabouts of Liam the past week than in hers.
As she was talking to her, she got a call from Derick and she ignored it. He didn’t call her again and she wondered if he called her to warn her about the call from the cops.
Rory’s alarm bells started ringing as the detective talked more about Liam. She didn’t give out many details to the detective. She said that she had a fight with Liam the day he left for LA and that she didn’t keep in much contact with him until he returned.
The detective wanted to know what the fight was about. "Just something..." Rory didn’t tell her anything.
She did wonder if she should be truthful about Liam’s plans for divorce. But then she remembered Liam telling her that there was a serious reason behind it.
And so, she decided to keep it from the cops for the time being. She didn’t like propagating that Liam was planning on divorcing her. But she was not sure if it would be a good idea.
Rory tried to find out the time of death of Allison. She probed the detective, but the detective was a veteran and avoided leaking any information.
Talking more, she realized that the issue is very serious. Rory, fearing for Liam, told the detective about the phone call she made to Liam’s lawyer and that Liam was present with the lawyer at that time.
She didn’t know if it would create any more trouble. But still, she decided to tell the truth.
She suffered a lot hiding the truth from the feds the last time. She didn’t want to repeat her past mistake.
The detective asked for the exact time. Rory checked her call logs and told her the time. The detective’s tone softened after hearing the time. Rory was relieved a bit. That should mean that Allison must have disappeared/killed around that time.
Killed..? It was not killing. It was something more terrible and terrifying. Allison was mutilated by someone having a vengeance.
